We recognize that in our society and our community, there are deeply rooted structural inequities.

We want to do all that we can to be an organization that

• promotes social justice and equity, rather than reinforcing inequity
• creates a welcoming and inclusive environment that nurtures self-empowerment
• recognizes, affirms, and values cultural differences and similarities
• responds respectfully and effectively to our community
• encourages self-exploration and accountability

In short, we want to make sure that the PNA belongs to the entire community so that community really can begin here.
